Sirat Ibn Hisham 554
The emigration of ʿUmar and the story of ʿAyyāsh
[ خُرُوجُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ إلَى مَكَّةَ فِي أَمْرِ عَيَّاشٍ وَهِشَامٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: فَحَدَّثَنِي مَنْ أَثِقُ بِهِ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ، وَهُوَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ: مَنْ لِي بِعَيَّاشِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، وَهِشَامِ بْنِ الْعَاصِي ؟ فَقَالَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ: أَنَا لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِهِمَا، فَخَرَجَ إلَى مَكَّةَ، فَقَدِمَهَا مُسْتَخْفِيًا، فَلَقِيَ امْرَأَةً تَحْمِلُ طَعَامًا، فَقَالَ لَهَا: أَيْنَ تُرِيدِينَ يَا أَمَةَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَتْ: أُرِيدُ هَذَيْنِ الْمَحْبُوسَيْنِ - تَعْنِيهِمَا - فَتَبِعَهَا حَتَّى عَرَفَ مَوْضِعَهُمَا، وَكَانَا مَحْبُوسَيْنِ فِي بَيْتٍ لَا سَقْفَ لَهُ، فَلَمَّا أَمْسَى تَسَوَّرَ عَلَيْهِمَا، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ مَرْوَةَ فَوَضَعَهَا تَحْتَ قَيْدَيْهِمَا، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَهُمَا بِسَيْفِهِ فَقَطَعَهُمَا، فَكَانَ يُقَالُ لِسَيْفِهِ: ذُو الْمَرْوَةِ لِذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ حَمَلَهُمَا عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ، وَسَاقَ بِهِمَا، فَعَثَرَ فَدَمِيَتْ أُصْبُعُهُ، فَقَالَ:: هَلْ أَنْتِ إلَّا أُصْبُعٌ دَمَيْتِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَا لَقَيْتِ ثُمَّ قَدِمَ بِهِمَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ
Translation
✧ [The departure of al-Walīd b. al-Walīd to Makkah concerning the affair of ʿAyyāsh and Hishām] Ibn Hishām said: One whom I trust narrated to me that the Messenger of God ﷺ, while in Madinah, said: "Who will bring me ʿAyyāsh b. Abī Rabīʿah and Hishām b. al-ʿĀṣī?" Al-Walīd b. al-Walīd b. al-Mughīrah said: "I will bring them to you, O Messenger of God." So he set out to Makkah and arrived there secretly. He met a woman carrying food and said to her: "Where are you heading, O maidservant of God?" She said: "I am heading to these two prisoners"—meaning them. He followed her until he knew their location. They were imprisoned in a house that had no roof. When evening came, he climbed over to them, then took a flint stone and placed it under their shackles, then struck them with his sword and cut them. For that reason, his sword was called Dhū al-Marwah (Possessor of the Flint Stone). Then he carried them on his camel and drove them away. He stumbled and his finger bled, so he said: "Are you anything but a finger that has bled, And in the path of God what you have suffered?" Then he brought them to the Messenger of God ﷺ in Madinah.
